I had the vegetarian spaghetti and it was the best Italian ever; the spaghetti stayed hot the whole time. Now that's fresh. My husband loved... more

I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Cafe Mangiafico while visiting friends in Venice. They serve the best lasagna I have ever eaten in my 73 years.
